Beyond mAbs: accelerated Gene-to-IND development for bispecifics, Fc-fusions and high-concentration biologics
Over the last decade, accelerated Gene-to-IND timelines have gone from being the exception to becoming an industry expectation. At the same time, biologics pipelines have become increasingly complex, with growing numbers of bispecifics, Fc-fusions and high-concentration molecules entering development.
While the drive to reach the clinic faster is strong, these next-generation biologics can introduce new challenges in areas such as expression, manufacturability, purification and formulation. In this presentation, we will discuss newly launched accelerated DNA-to-IND pathways for next-generation biologics and the scientific advances that are helping make these timelines possible.
Drawing on development experience, technical data and case studies, we will explore how innovation across early development can help accelerate progression to IND while maintaining confidence in product quality, manufacturability and future scalability.
